The Beatles V's Sukilove

Sukilove

This post is from the July 2006 issue of the Mojo magazine CD which celebrates the 40th(!) anniversary of the release of The Beatles' Revolver album. The track I have posted here is from Sukilove.

"Not everyone hated Wings!" yelled Rolling Stone as Sukilove released their self-titled debut album in 2003. Indeed, despite their ability to turn their hand to dream pop, the Belgian five-piece is here able to add a chilling edge to the Fab-inspired blend of modern psychadelia.

Their version of George Harrison's Eastern-inspired Love You To is filled with a darker sense of foreboding than Harrison's mystical ruminations on the sitar-flecked original.
